Tea Party Poopers

Gun sales have spiked since Obama's re-election. Petitions for secession have appeared in all 50 states. Sarah Palin is tweeting like crazy. Citizens with big guns are angry and they're itching for a fight. Is your government ready?

You'll be glad to know it is!

See, a "thought exercise" described in an article published by the non-profit Small Wars Journal (co-written by a retired Army colonel and a Civil War historian) tries to figure out what the federal government should do if, say, the frustrated Tea Party gets a little too caffeinated and forgets that their muskets and tricorne hats are supposed to be props.

What really scares the authors is the possibility that an armed teabagging rebellion wouldn't stand a chance of being dunked by local law enforcement -- because the locals would be too sympathetic to the rebels. Yes, it may sound paranoid. But it turns out that the U.S. Army's operating concept for 2016 to 2028 considers a threat by "radical U.S. citizens operating domestically and abroad" to be highly likely.

Conservatives were outraged that anyone was even considering such a scenario. The Washington Timescalled it "cartoonish" and "farcical."

We're not so sure. After all, just two years ago in her bid for the U.S. Senate, Nevada Republican Sharron Angle threatened that her criminally insane supporters would resort to "Second Amendment remedies" if the GOP didn't get its way. True, she lost. But not without getting 45 percent of the vote. And we're pretty sure that her 45 percent own a lot of guns.

Funny. Yet the guncrazed excuse for the 2nd Amendment is that Americans require these weapons in the event that their government gets overbearing and dictatorial. I'm surprised they've waited this long.

I say, follow the "Gullible Conservatives" with a camera and get them on film at the store with their food stamp card, or the doctor with there medicaid card, at the tax office putting in for a waiver on their property taxes, turning in the application for a Pell Grant, and walking into the Plan Parenthood Clinic.

Hi Alfred, I see your post has been edited, but I agree that the commie, homo, muslim, liar etc etc. is the problem with the society today. These school, theater, mall shootings are all 0vomits fault. He should just plan on going back to africa, so he can live his life out in peace.

Based on a series of cases in the 1940s and 50s, it is not illegal for Americans to advocate the violent overthrow of the government; it is illegal, however, to advocate immediate action to overthrow the government.

However, I strongly agree that discretion is warranted

Those who banter about direct action may have to be suspected of being agents provocateur.

I wonder what you'd have said if you'd witnessed the Obamanut liberal Irishman (who called me a racist for not voting for Obama) say with liberal tears in his eyes that he and his wife loved their adopted Ethiopian grandchild more than their natural grandchildren.

Now that I have a problem with! Overcompensation, perhaps... or...or...

The majority of the masses will keep their haeds in the sand and deny that anything like dictatorship will ever happen . But one day they will awaken and find out , it happened and now they can't really do much about it . There is no talking with liberals about it or even trying to convince them . They all live in their little world of denial dispite what is happening right under their noses . God Help Us !
